I guess it’s my turn to write now. I have been out of the middle ages for a considerate time now, as I find it less and less interesting and enjoyable, but I have some hope that this is about to change which is why I am letting you enjoy some plate porn.

During the Battle of Wisby 2013 I realized my old gauntlets had served their time, as finger plates was sent flying over the fields of Mästerby and Östergravar by malicious enemy fighters. I knew something had to be done about it but I hesitated as the repairs would be nearly as expensive as getting a new pair of gauntlets. Furthermore, I wasn’t as happy about the middle ages as I once was, so spending hundreds of euros on something I was only mildly interested in didn’t seem to make much sense.

But then I was surfing the web one night, and I came across this guy. His work seemed decent enough, but to be on the safe side I asked some friends about him. From a reliable source I got to know that he was not only decent – he was really good. I contacted him during the end of 2013 and ordered a pair of early hourglass gauntlets.

So far he is very nice, helpful and professional, and he keeps sending med pictures to see that I am updated and that I know how his work is proceeding. I’ll make sure to post more photos as soon as I get them from Radosław.
